I get inspired by things that catch the eye. I like bright colors, unique patterns, and just general excitement. I wanted to capture pictures that described the word fun. I chose to photograph my friends and the lens ball. I want my viewer to laugh and feel good when they see my photos. Photography is important to me because it's a way to capture emotion that you felt at any given moment.

Writing about one image
In this photo, there is a lot of symmetry. There is a very prominent rectangle theme in the photo with the bricks and even the windows themselves. It is framed so the windows take up the same amount of the photo, and neither of them are more prominent than the other. The focal point is clearly the two windows.
It is not interesting if I write something about the camera settings, so im gonna list them off
ISO: 25
White Balance: Sunny
Shutter Speed: 1/5000
Aperture: f/1.8
This photo represents unity, how the two windows go together. I decided to split tone the photo to symbolize this, with the color of the blinds and the bricks as the two tones. The location also symbolizes this, because it’s where my grandparents live, and they are very unified and always together
